Dong Bortey who is currently the coach of Hearts of Oak’s youth side, Auroras, where Hamza Issah was discovered, has currently scored three goals for the club since, he came through.
He scored his first against Bibiani GoldStars when he grabbed the equalizer late in a matchday 7 encounter at Duns Park last Saturday.
Issah continued his strong play against Medeama SC, the winners of the Ghana Premier League, on Wednesday, November 1, scoring a brace in a 3-1 victory at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Dong Bortey, in an interview on the Max 89.7 FM, said, “I have said it before that we have got a certain player called Hamza Issah, and he’ll be better than Ishmael Addo.”
He also believes the youngster has what it takes to excel at the international level with Ghana.
“He has just started, and we’re still training him to become better because if you’re able to spot talent as a football person, you’ll know he [Hamza Issah] will be a great player and will achieve so much for Ghana in the future.”
